Residents living near Castle Marina Retail Park have revealed what life has been like for them during lockdown.
A lot of the shops in the retail park, located on the brink of the city centre, remain open - such as Sainsbury's, Lidl and McDonald's Drive-Thru.
Others, such as PureGym and Ultimate Outdoors remain closed for the foreseeable future until restrictions are eased by the government.
Castle Marina Road has a number of houses and flats and is situated right next to the retail park.
Pat Stewart, who has lived in the area for three years, said: "I feel like we're the luckiest people on earth here.
"Because you can walk across to the embankment, you can walk to the shops - if you need to walk to the city centre its only about 15 minutes.
"If you live here, I think we have the best of it. I feel like within a mile and a half radius of the city, but just outside - places like here, Sneinton, Lenton, have it the best.
I think people are becoming pretty tired of it all so I don't blame them for coming to the shops.
"We have the same difficulties as everyone else, of course, but it's not easy for anyone. In terms of everyday things, I miss the hairdressers and going shopping.
"But I think you'll find 99% of people here have something positive to say about living here at the moment. Nottingham is great, I think."
Sam Smith, 26, said: "In terms of parking, it's actually been better than it was before I think. You haven't got as many people coming here, although the traffic often does build up at McDonald's - near the roundabout."
Georgie McCormick, also 26, added: "We mainly just go to Sainsbury's at the retail park now to do our shopping - we walk there.
"We used to walk to that McDonald's, too, but now of course it's only open if you drive."
"If I had one complaint it would probably be the traffic caused by the drive-thru," Sam continued.
"It's often all the way around the roundabout, so you're queuing even though you aren't going there yourself.
"But I think it's a nice place to live around here - we enjoy it. There's plenty of places to walk nearby."
